SHULLSB URG'S REUNION.
A CROWD OF 5000 IN ATTENDANCE


monize there is every reason to be-
lieve that the reunion at Shullsburg
last week was among the most sue
cessful of the several held by the
veterans of Southwestern Wiscon-
sin.
With the first day, and even the
day previous, people old and young,
great and small, from all directions
commenced gathering, and by even
ing the crowd and interest and
spirit was such as only those who
have attended reunion can i'm.
agine. In the evening the camp
fire was held in the shadows of ST.
Matthews church, of which vast
audience partook. President Bax-
ter called the meeting to order,
the Band executed musical miii-
tary selection which ELECTED APP
plause, K. .. Kimberly and Daisy
Force sang appropriate odes, aud
upon the arrival of the train the
announcement that Gov. Jerry Rusk,
State Treasurer Harshaw, Atty, Gen.
Eastbrook, Rail road Commissioner
Peterson, Insurance Commissioner
Cheek, were present, cheers were
given. The Governor excused him.
self from speaking promising to
speak on the morrow. The Hon.
Phil Cheek was called for aud spoke
at length, his remarks were well
received. The speaker told many
"reminiscences of the war. Other
speeches were made aud the even
ing was well spent, and at midnight
the town was regarded as quiet.
At early morn the second day
visitors commenced pouring in
from all quarters which continued
until about 5000 people had assem-
bled. Procession was the first fea-
ture of importance which was re-
viewed by Gov Rusk and state
officers. After the review the pro,
cession marched to the St. Matthew's
church grounds, where DIR. G. G..
Gratiot introduced Capt. c. II. BaX-
ter, the president of the association,
who in a patriotic speech, paid a
tribute to the veterans. Chaplain
Webster offered a prayer and the
entire audience sang the national
ode. The Hon. j. w. Blackstone,
president of the village, welcomed
the visitors aud was responded to
by Col. K. f. Clough. Miss Daisy
Force, the "Child of the Iron Bri-
gade," then sang the ode to the
brigade. Speeches were also made
by Phil Cheek and Maj Warner.
Gov. Rusk addressed the assem-
blage, reviewing the action of the
Wisconsin soldiers in the late war,
and advocated using the surplus IN
the treasury for paying pensions to
every man who fought for the
Union.
After dinner Commander Griffin
delivered a short address in which
he declared that he favored the de-
struction Of the Union if it failed
to provide for the soldiers.
AT the conclusion Of the speeches,
the Darlington rifles and Monroe
City guards gave an exhibition drill,
and the Monroe band executed the
"Recollections Of the War;" accom-
panied with the rattle Of musketry.

LAST Thursday, in company with
some other fellows, Jot Hanscom
took a trip to stream some six or
eight miles below Darlington in
quest of trout. He succeeded in
landing one that measured 174
inches in length and . pounds in
weight. The same was on exhi'
bition at Jot's store the next morn
ing, and the many who gazed at 1T
regard it as the finest yet caught
in this section. The special desire
now of the several ardent trouters
in our city is to do as well or better.
It's questionable if they will sue
ceed.

THE members of Geo. II. Legate
Post desire to return their thanks to
ell our citizens who willingly aided

Their thanks are especially due to

aud labor to the preparation Of the
wreaths and boquets; to the finance
committee for their labor which
provided abundant funds to defray
the expenses; 20 those who so kind
ly furnished the flowers, and to our
little wreath bearers. The increas-
lug interest in the Memorial Ser
vices shows the old soldiers that the
memory of those who died for our
country will never be allowed to
fade.
